Robot types: Tugger, Forklift. Risk band: Elevated RobotRisk index 24.9/100 (severity- and time-weighted incidents) · ranked 1 of 3 among AMR / mobile robot companies with incidents (430 tracked).
Analyst brief
The record contains two recall entries, both severity 3: a 2023 Ottawa T2 terminal tractor recall for cab tilt cylinder failure risk, and a 2017 terminal tractor recall for electrical fire risk from ground cable and PDC wiring defects. Both entries are regulator-driven recalls rather than press-reported incidents, and both concern the same terminal tractor product line across a six-year span. The record shows a recurring recall pattern on one product family rather than a single isolated action.
